guys i have this problem with my soarer theres two of em so iil state both
firstly the steering rack has worn out on one side and the car will steer funni if i brake really hard and the wheel has a lot of play in it , so what other car steering rack can i use if i cant find another soarer one
second problem
the brake disc on the right side front is warped and due to that the brake pads are gripping on the metal disc which is causing the car to make a loud scraping noise the guys at the local brake place said that they nneded to either machine the disc or get a new one but they didnt know the tolerance for the machining as the disc was alredy looking thin and worn , and they couldnt match up the soarer dics with another car
what other car disc will fit , or is it worthwile upgrading to another good set , i know the ma70 ones are bigger , so will the fit with the standars soarer calipers or will the calipers need to be changed as well,
i just spent 700 dollars nearly a year ago reconditioning the calipers and getting new pads and disc machined so i need a good solution please that wont cost me heaps
thanks lads

your calipers will come apart in to pieces - a bracket and the piston half - u only need the bracket half - therfore keep your existing pistons
